More great resources that illuminate the black experience:

  • ProQuest Historical Newspapers™-Black Newspapers—These newspapers gave voice to the people, culture, politics, and issues in those communities that too often received little to no attention from other papers. They give students the complete story with nine titles that are full- image and cross-searchable with other ProQuest Historical Newspapers and with ProQuest's Black Studies Center.
  • Black Studies Center—At its core is Schomburg Studies on the Black Experience™, a series of topical studies that help define the development of Black Studies as an academic field. The Black Studies Center gateway makes it cross-searchable with the historical backfiles of The Chicago Defender, as well as current scholarly journals from International Index to Black Periodicals—Full Text™, the Marshall Index, and the Black Literature Index. Plus, many add-on modules are also available.
  • Black Abolitionist Papers—Provide faculty and students with authoritative international abolitionist works produced from 1830 to 1865. The collection's 15,000 primary source materials authored by nearly 300 African Americans include hand-written letters, published speeches, editorials, articles, sermons, and essays from the U.S., Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, and Scotland.
